D.A. Frizzel Bio

Degreed in both graphics (Bachelor of Science in Technology in Commercial Graphics) and fine arts (Bachelor of Fine Art in Art ), Frizell has practiced professionally since graduation. He
became Smithsonian certified in 2007 as a judge for the Sedona Arts Festival and has participated as a mentor to many art field aspirants. His partnership’s with production firm TwentyFourCore,
Devco Entertainment and Bluewater Productions has fueled a recent onslaught of new and creative material. Frizell has had art shows in a variety of states nationally and is internationally known
for his work with producer TwentyFourCore for Avenged Sevenfold, Sevendust and Disturbed and also Devco Entertainment's Wednesday 13.

Few artists can demonstrate the biomechanical combination of fantasy and reality that DA Frizell represents in his wide range of work. Adept in media ranging from clay and multimedia sculpture to
digital and graphite illustrations, he has developed his craft to an esteemed level of skill and proficiency. Frizell's illustrative methods stretch the imagination to a nearly abhorrent level
without crossing the line to tastelessness, yet he attributes his work to childhood imagery and reflection. Fortunately, the associated memories are from monster movies like Frankenstein, Wolfman
and the Creature from the Black Lagoon that he enjoyed with his family. His father, an artist himself, would often bring home books like Conan or novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs that stimulated
Frizell's imagination. Aside from the most influential person in his life, his father, Michael Frizell, his biggest Art inspirations are: Frank Frazetta, H.R.Giger, Berni Wrightson, Basil Gogos,
Al Williamson, Boris Vallejo, Luis Royo, Hajime Sorayama and Olivia.

Frizell's art emulates the styles that He grew up with. He utilizes an extensive media base to ensure the development of the illustration fits the project at hand. "When I see my planning,
research and imagination transform into a well-defined piece of work, the pride and satisfaction I feel from putting my imagination on paper accelerates my convictions to become a more
recognizable fixture in the illustrative community."

Frizell has worked on professional photographs, comic and magazine publications, stage props for live entertainment, Music CD and DVD covers and interiors, Music Video Backgrounds, apparel,
temporary tattoos, stickers and a wide range of marketing souvenirs.

"Through my art, I am able to create a bond with musicians, authors and private collectors to give a concrete visual representation to the subject of mine or their imaginations."
